Dad and I spent a lot of time together. Mom always said we were two peas in a pod. I can remember dad calling one of our horses up when I was 3-4yrs old "get a good handful of mane and hang on!" & would give Alex a good pat on the butt and I was off. Dad would bring me a rose home for Valentine's Day in my high school yrs, bought me flowers when I had my knee surgery. I was ALWAYS the mouse in his pocket whenever I heard "we can do that". It was hardly ever we ..it was me. This past July I took dad over to Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. I will treasure that trip forever. I would tell him if he didn't behave I'd give him a good shove in the wheelchair and say "good luck". That was our relationship though. If you knew dad ..he loved to give ppl a hard time. Mom says I'm just like him ..100%. So you can imagine the two of us together. Mom wouldn't even go with us over to Mayo 20+yrs ago .."I'm not riding in the same car as you two!!!". LoL Tells it all ..love and miss you dad!! ~Suzi
